Authenticates a member and creates an member authentication token

This method of authentication is recommended for clients that can securely store the member authentication token access_token and member authentication token refresh_token locally.

The member authentication token access_token must be provided as the LoyaltySessionToken HTTP header to authenticate subsequent requests.

Sign out is handled by deleting the stored member authentication token access_token and member authentication token refresh_token

This method can be used to both create a new access token, or refresh an expired token based on the member authentication request grant_type

Data is to be provided as application/x-www-form-urlencoded form parameters in the format of member authentication request

Currently, the external_issuer grant type will fail if the provided external authentication token can not be linked to a single Loyalty member, and as such is unsuitable for social sign in flows.
